Greubel Forsey - Balancier S2

Greubel Forsey keeps developing its sportier side with the Balancier S2, a limited edition with a price in excess of CHF 200,000

After the GMT Sport and the Balancier S models, Greubel Forsey keeps developing its sportier side with the Balancier S2 which shares the movement of its predecessor while introducing new design elements and finishes.

Alternating polished and straight-grained surfaces, the titanium case measures 46.50 mm x 15.70 mm and is water resistant up to a pressure of 10 ATM (approximately 100 metres / 330 feet).

Protected by a curved synthetic sapphire crystal and characterised by a hand-grained matt finish, the charcoal grey or light grey dial (two editions will be produced) is cut through the balance bridge between 5 and 9 o'clock.  

Instead of the key Greubel Forsey values seen in the Balancier S model, the S2 features a striking brushed titanium bezel with polished flanks. 

With its oversized 12.6 mm diameter, the large balance wheel ensures chronometric performances beating at the frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz).

The inclination angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal plane of the movement contributes to limit timing errors due to the effects of gravity on the regulating organ (balance wheel, spring and escapement) in stable positions.

With two coaxial barrels mounted in series, the 308-component movement has a 72-hour chronometric power reserve, indicated on a sector at 2 o’clock.

The rubber strap with texture in relief is secured on the wrist by a titanium folding clasp. A 3-row metal bracelet in titanium featuring a folding clasp with integrated fine adjustment is available on demand.

Greubel Forsey will produce only 88 pieces of the new Balancier S2 with a charcoal grey dial, for a total of 22 pieces per year from 2022 to 2025, and 64 with a light grey background (16 pieces per year over 4 years) with a price in excess of CHF 200,000. greubelforsey.com
